The Ginkgo is yellow

The yellow tree is a Ginkgo Biloba. It will not keep this yellow color for a long time. It is the reason why I took this shot. Do you know that Ginkgo leaf extracts have been shown to have a wide range of biological activities? The most well-known use is the ability to improve short term memory. The first mentioned use of Ginkgo biloba appears in China in 1436 during the Ming dynasty.
